Ophthalmic Scribe

Retina Institute of Virginia PLLC -
Richmond, VA

Posted: August 8, 2018

Retina Institute of Virginia is seeking a full time Ophthalmic Scribe. We are a large, fast paced Ophthalmic practice looking for a self-starter, detail-oriented, and responsible individual with a positive attitude.

Our Mission:

The purpose of RIV is to provide the highest quality of care to our patients with high-quality personnel, equipment and facilities.

We offer a team oriented work environment where we always work for the good of the patient and practice, not for our own convenience. No one is more important than anyone else, and we make sure everyone feels valued. We have worked hard to create a no nonsense work environment where we always encourage a ‘happy to do it’ attitude.

The Ideal Candidate:

The scribe position must be able to spell, maintain a positive attitude in a very busy work environment, and multi-task. The ability to ‘think ahead’ and to anticipate what the MD will need is a crucial part of this job. Someone who will take initiative will be very successful. You also must be very detail oriented, but not lose sight of the ‘forest because of the trees’.

Great communication skills are a must since you will be working closely with the doctors, your colleagues, and patients.

Prior medical or Ophthalmic experience is desired, but not required. We will provide training to a candidate that has the right attitude, a growth mindset, and is a natural fit into our work culture.

Job Details and Benefits:

This position works very closely with the MDs. You are the proverbial right hand and will learn a great deal about the eye, disease process, diagnostic tests, and many other things that come with working in a medical setting. There is also direct interaction with patients.

This is a full time Scribe position. Retina Institute of Virginia offers a team-oriented work environment and competitive compensation package, with benefits including: continuing education, medical, dental, vision, life, long term disability, paid training, paid holidays, paid time off, and 401(k).

If you want to get a lot of exciting experience and be apart of a talented, diverse team then apply now! We look forward to hearing from you!

Application Guidelines

5 Tips for Successfully Submitting a Job Application on Local Eye Site

Before uploading your resume, be sure to check for spelling and grammatical errors. Overlooking minor details can reflect poorly on your application.

Tailor your cover letter to address the position you’re applying for. Using a standard cover letter template can convey a lack of interest to an employer.

Save your resume in a format that will protect the text and layout of the document, such as a PDF. This will prevent your formatted resume from showing up differently when opened by the recipient.

Unless specifically requested, avoid attaching distracting peripherals like headshots and award certificates to your application. They aren’t necessary, and can sometimes be perceived as unprofessional.

Be sure to allow time for the hiring manager to review your application before following up with them. A general follow-up timeframe is about 7-10 business days, after which a simple email will generally suffice.
